Explanation

(This amendment provides $275,000 the second year from the general fund for a one-time start-up payment for the Virginia Virtual School. The $275,000 would cover the cost of the 4 full-time employees employed by the Virginia Virtual School and Virginia Virtual Board members' costs during the first year start-up. Staff should be hired by January 1, 2018, in order to be ready for the opening of the School for the 2018-19 school year. Once students have enrolled in the Virginia Virtual School in the fall of 2018, the costs of the administration of the School will be provided for by the multi-division online providers that contract to provide full-time virtual school programs with the School. This funding is contingent on the passage and enactment of House Bill 8.)
